Chapter 33: The Search for the Elixir of Life
However, at this time, Chiba Shinichi and Chiba Sakura obeyed Chen Sanshui's command very much, and immediately carried the zombies on the ground into the coffin, and covered the coffin lid.
Chen Sanshui leaned against the corner of the wall at this time and closed his eyes to recuperate, but Zhang Ergou looked a little impatient, after all, no one knew whether the monster in the coffin would suddenly pop out, and no one wanted to stay in this ghost place all the time!
In contrast, Chiba Shinichi and Chiba Sakura are quite calm, and the two of them are now obedient to Chen Sanshui's words, and they don't have any doubts at all, and they are very sure that Chen Sanshui can take them to leave this place smoothly!
Time passed little by little, at the beginning, the mobile phone still had some power, and occasionally I could check the time, but after a few hours, the mobile phone was all gone, so Zhang Ergou scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.
"Hey, what time is it?" In less than an hour, Zhang Ergou had already asked Chiba Sakura eight times!
However, Chiba Sakura kept a straight face and didn't reply at all.
"This Japanese woman is really dead-eyed, and she won't answer even if she asks for a while!" Zhang Ergou couldn't help but complain.
"Even if she answers now, I guess you won't understand, right?" Chen Sanshui said with a smile.
"Well, that's what I'm saying, without mobile phone translation software, we basically know the same thing." Zhang Ergou smiled self-deprecatingly, he had been in Japan for so many years, and he could only say a few simple greetings.
"It's 10 o'clock at night." At this time, Chiba Shinichi opened his mouth and spoke in Chinese.
"Hmmm! Old man, you can speak Chinese! Zhang Ergou said with a look of surprise.
"Because I want to study the Chinese Qimen Dunjia and the Feng Shui secret techniques of dividing gold and acupoints, I learned Chinese, so it will be more convenient to study and learn." Chiba said with a smile.
"Hey, I really admire you for having such a strong learning ability at such an age! No wonder people often say live to learn! But I'm also curious, a big family like the Chiba family is actually not short of money, right? What kind of treasure will keep you coming back for so many years? Zhang Ergou asked curiously.
Chiba Shinichi squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Ergou, and then said with a smile: "You won't believe it if you tell you!" ”
"As long as you say I'll believe it!" Zhang Ergou said with a serious face.
"Well, there is nothing to hide until now, what I want to find is the elixir of life, if I find this magical potion, I will be able to live forever and stay young, do you say that this kind of treasure is attractive to me, an old man who is about to die?" Chiba Shinichi said with a smile.
"Yes! Absolutely! But how could there be such a thing in this world? If this is the case, it is estimated that those ancient emperors have gone crazy! Zhang Ergou still doesn't believe it in the end, after all, this is a legendary thing.
"Hehe, I know you won't believe it, it doesn't matter, as long as I believe it!" As soon as Chiba Shin finished speaking, he sat quietly in the corner, what he had spent his life for was the elixir of life, if there was no such thing, then there was no need for him to live.
It was the first time that Chiba Sakura on the side had heard this secret, she had always thought that what her grandfather was looking for was endless treasures, and when the time came, with the wealth of the rich country, the Chiba family would never decay! But I didn't expect that the other party would end up doing it for such an illusory thing as the elixir, it's really ridiculous to think about it!
But at this time, Chen Sanshui said with a smile: "In fact, there is really an elixir of life in this world!" ”
"Really? Brother Shui, don't fool me! Even if I don't read much, I wouldn't be stupid enough to believe such a thing, right? Zhang Ergou said with a smile.
"You don't understand this, as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a legend of the elixir, but it has not been confirmed, and in the period of Qin Shi Huang, the elixir became a real thing, and at that time there were indeed people who lived for hundreds of years! And it was recorded in the annals of history, so Qin Shi Huang began to frantically search for the elixir of life, but he did not find this kind of thing until his death. ”
Before Chen Sanshui's words were finished, Zhang Ergou said with a smile: "Isn't it still a legend after all?" How many of these things are true? If there really is an elixir of life, how could Qin Shi Huang's ability not be found? ”
"You remember the female corpse we saw before, right? The reason why this female corpse can be preserved is not because of the strong preservative, but because it has a certain relationship with the elixir of life! At the beginning, there were also incorruptible female corpses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, so Qin Shi Huang should have obtained the semi-finished products of the elixir, and those female corpses that accompanied the burial are proof! Chen Sanshui said seriously.
"Brother Shui, what you said is too far-fetched, can the semi-finished products of the elixir still be considered an elixir? At most, it is a relatively high concentration of formalin! Zhang Ergou said disapprerovingly.
", Qin Shi Huang is about 2,000 years ago, was there formalin more than 2,000 years ago? Foreign mummies also have to refine various spices and preservatives, and finally hollow out the internal organs and wrap them into zongzi to ensure that they do not rot, while the Chinese incorruptible female corpses do not have any wounds, almost exactly the same state as before their deaths, and can also extract active cells from their hair! If you can solve the mystery of the immortal female corpse, then you can really develop an elixir of life! Chen Sanshui said with a smile.
"Really? With the current level of technology, how many years will it take to develop the elixir of life? Will I be able to catch up? Zhang Ergou asked with a smile.
"You guy definitely can't catch up, maybe you'll be here Chinese New Year's Eve and two years old soon!" Chen Sanshui said with a smile.
"Phew! Ten years of prosperity! Lao Tzu must live to be ninety-nine, eight thousand, one hundred years old! "Zhang Ergou is serious nonsense.
"Haha, the thousand-year-old king is 80,000 years old, when the time comes, if you work hard, you will be able to become an old turtle!" Chen Sanshui said with a laugh.
But at this time, Chiba Shinichi on the side said excitedly: "What Master Chen said is right! There must be an elixir of life! It's just that I haven't found it yet! The ancestor of my Chiba family is the one who searched for the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang back then! ”
"Huh? Your ancestors used to look for the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang? How is this possible? Didn't your ancestors die more than a thousand years ago? And the era of Qin Shi Huang is more than 2,200 years away from now! That's hundreds of years! Zhang Ergou frowned, thinking that this old man really wanted the elixir and wanted to go crazy!
"Our ancestor was indeed the one who sought the elixir of life for Qin Shi Huang, and the genealogy records that he lived to be seven hundred and ninety-nine years old! So the elixir is definitely true! Chiba Shinichi said with great certainty.
